Let me just start off by really making a point here. I am not the biggest fan of brunch- I think it…read moreis usually overpriced, with sub par flavors, and I leave wanting more. I go to brunch because my girlfriend loves the food selection and mimosas. Now that you know the context of my review, I can honestly say that Sweet Maple broke my streak of disappointment with brunch and is now my #1 brunch spot! We came here for the start of our 10-year anniversary celebration. I was scouring Yelp for brunch spots that seemed adequate. Then I came across this gem. Their menu is extensive with robust and hearty meals. I do not like breakfast items, but when I saw the Korean fried chicken and Omurice, I was shocked and locked-in for this experience. The reservation was set for 8:15. Upon arriving, multiple members of the staff welcomed us was warmth as we walked to our table. I was told the gold standard of service contained multiple check-ins from the staff and constant refills whenever the drinks are half empty. They followed both of these points to the letter! I felt taken care of and all of the staff were always doing something. Also, the food came out insanely fast! I was not ready for all of it to arrive piping hot and all at the same time! The setting is very beautiful. The decor is nice and bright, the chairs are soft and comfy, and the colors go so well together. Moreover, even when busy, the seating areas are still breathable. Last but certainly not least, the food. I was blown away from the ratios between the price, flavor, and serving size of the food. We ordered a mimosa flight, Korean fried chicken, tornado galbi omurice, and the jam juicy Lucy burger. The meat on the burger was nicely seasoned, it had a generous service of fries, tomato's, and greens. The fried chicken had 5 good sized wings and were crispy. The Omurice was nice and rich. Honestly, I would've been fine if it did not come with short rib because the flavors were already so good with just the rice and egg! The portions were impressive. We both left filled to the brim! 5/5. I will be returning to this location to really put it to the test. I will bring the whole family a little later in the morning to see how well they perform during peak brunch times with a large group. I have high hopes. Until next time, Sweet Maple! Maybe brunch isn't so bad after all. ;)

Absolutely darling place! I came here to celebrate my birthday, and they made it feel so special…read moreright from the start; they even included a cute card with a flower as a birthday note! The interior is so beautiful with amazing attention to detail. Between the mismatched tables, chairs, and table settings, and the lovely green garden, it gives off the coziest, homey vibe. Our waitress was fantastic and so thoughtful in dealing with allergy concerns. She actually took the time to write up specific dishes and notes on a menu just for him so we knew exactly what was safe! The Pan-Asian menu was incredible across the board. We had: Roti Pork Salad Nasi Goreng Ribs Beef Curry & Chicken Curry The food was amazing, the space was gorgeous, and the customer service was top-tier. I loved everything about it and can't wait to come back!

For the amount of demand from DoorDash orders, window side orders, and dine-in orders, the server took care of everyone in the timeliest of fashion with kindness, positivity, and max efficiency. Very impressed. 20/10 in service. Spring rolls super fresh and light. Peanut sauce wasn't too sweet and I liked the thicker consistency. Summer mango salad special...stellar. The combination of mango, calamari, shrimp, basil, and peanuts might be weird at first but it worked beautifully together for a fresh summer bite. Vietnamese ice coffee is rich, dark, and perfectly sweet. One of the best I've had in a while. Will be my go to Vietnamese spot in the westside. Highly recommend to those looking for a quality light and fresh meal.

Super friendly guy took my order and gave me a glass of water. The restaurant was small, but had a very nice, clean vibe. The sandwich was supposed to have come with pickled daikon and carrots, along with cilantro. It came with lots and lots of carrots and a fair amount of jalapenos. There was no daikon that I could see or find, and maybe three sprigs of cilantro. If the carrots were pickled, they must have been pickled in the last ten minutes before I got them as there was no discernible flavor other than carrot. Although I went to eat the sandwich about fifteen minutes after I picked it up. It was very soggy. The meat was very much on the dry side, a bit greasy, but again, overall, pretty flavorless. It also seemed more like roast pork shoulder rather than pork belly. This sandwich is not something I would ever order again as I have had some very good bahn mi elsewhere. If I do come back, I will try one of the soups or salads or maybe a spring roll to see if my experience was just a one-off. Being generous, maybe they watered down the flavor profile to adapt to American tastes, but for me, especially considering the price, this sandwich was a complete failure. Very disappointing.

His behavior was aggressive and off-putting. The Chinese Chicken salad was good. Cons - it needs to close down and do a major remodel.

Make reservations because the place fills up quickly over the lunch hour. The patio is where it is at. No idea if there is parking -- we walked from our office at the Colorado Center. It had been a while since I had been here and they have added to their menu. I love the bowls and that you can make your own by picking the base (noodles - rice or vermicelli, rice -- jasmine or brown), choose a sauce (garlic lime, peanut or sweet chili), adding a protein (tofu and mushroom, chicken, pork, beef or shrimp) and finally you can add a topping (crispy onions, yams, leek crisps or pesto) -- those are $.75 extra. My bowl was so delicious -- I had the Tofu and Shitake mushroom bowl and it was so delicious and fresh I wanted to lick the plate. I also decided to try a black sesame latte -- it was ok, not as good as I wanted it to be. There is also a little kitchen for a quick take away meal if you don't have time -- if you never went to the bathroom you might not know it existed because you have to walk through the restaurant (from the patio) to see the take away section. The service is sometimes great and sometimes spotty depending on how busy they are.

But I was glad I came to this place. Love the atmosphere. It was energetic, a bit loud, and has a cooled retro night bar with neon signs. The alcohol display behind the bar was a spectacular view/design. It's high, making it looking pretty against the dim backdrop. We ordered four dishes, Dan Dan Mian, sichuan eggplant, chili wonton, and duck bao. The Dan Dan was unique. I didn't expect it to be spicy like all the other ones I've tried. But it was amazing! All of them were! Reservations are strongly recommended since it gets filled up pretty easily. Lastly, I want to give our waiter, Peter, a huge shoutout for being so attentive and engaging. He was on top of it! Great energy and very friendly.
